On February 24, President Vladimir Putin announced a “special military operation,” launching airstrikes across Ukraine and ordering Russian troops to begin a ground invasion. Since then, over 4 million Ukrainians have fled their country, but Ukrainian forces have managed to hold off a Russian victory. In this Alumni College webinar, Political Science professor Dr. Nicholas Grossman discusses Russia’s progress, Ukraine’s response, and the impact of the invasion across Europe and beyond.
